AltostratusHP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 - Windows / SNMP
Has anyone ever configured 'HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 - Windows' to talk to Big-IP's (LTM - 1500 specifically)
I have installed the MIB's, created a corresponding system type (using the following parameters...)
System object identifier: .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.3.4.4
Compare rule: match
MIB variable object identifier: .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.6.2
Object value:
Data type: string
Compare rule: any value
... and added the appropriate system which then does not produce events...
I then run 'identify systems' which results in the following...
Starting identification process...
Checking for known running web servers.
Checking for System Management Home Page and other HP web agents.
The System Management Homepage is not supported on this system.

It appears HP-SIM thinks there is no SNMP support on the LTM. Although I have checked the community strings match and am using SNMP V2c
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Did you check on the LTM to make sure that your server IP is permitted in the snmp client allow list?

Hi Jason,
Just to comment that I have succesfully added my 6400 boxes to the HP SIM 5.2.
I remember that I have a problem at first, because the community name I configured on the boxes was in lowercase and in HP SIM was uppercase, I had to add another community in uppercase in the big-ips, (because I had another tools to monitor them), after that change, I could see my big-ip devices in the SIM.
Although, I still haven't tested the traps going to the SIM...

Jason_KeatingHi Citizen, yes I did add the IP, thanks for the suggestion.
Jose, thanks will try putting the community address in UC and let you know what happens.

David_Lawn_2830Hi, don't know if you are still battling with this but I just solved the same issue, turns out HPSIM will only accept v1 traps so make sure your trap destination is set to v1.
